Miguel Sanchez

I used to post him whenever the Gazprom was on the telly with him commentating. Joey maintains that proud tradition.

I'm paying an extra tenner to get a souvenir ticket because I'm an utter fucking mug.

Alvvays at the Academy on Monday, PJ in Manchester on Tuesday, The Killers at the Hydro on Thursday. Hopefully I'll be deaf as well as skint. Good luck for tomorrow.

I found this while trying to figure out how much the tickets are likely to cost: "No hyperbole, I think this is our best work" – Eddie Vedder claims Pearl Jam raised the bar on new album Dark Matter, but their 2024 tour ticket prices are soaring too | MusicRadar £17.50 in 2000. If you like a band, see them young.

Only scoring one goal on 4giev should have been the cue to sell everything that wasn't nailed down.

OHHHHHHHHHH SHIT SON

More Bernie Collins as well. Yay.

I think I remember the registration page saying it would come through at 9PM or some equally ludicrous time.

I had hoped the Hydro being built might have tempted them up but apparently not. They're the last band left I haven't seen I really need to see otherwise I wouldn't be bothering either.

Happy Pearl Jam Registration Confirmation Day to all who celebrate. I believe @Empty It and @KnightswoodBear have signed up. What a world.

It's worth pointing out that Spurs' new stadium cost ~1.2 billion and as far as I can tell the club is paying for all of that.

Only one way Ferrari are getting on the top step amirite

I remember being in tech one day and somebody asking the teacher "Sir, what would you do if some wee wideo came at you with a chisel?" The answer was "We are allowed to use whatever force we deem necessary to protect ourselves, in that situation the force I'd deem necessary would be to throw a chair at them." Is that no longer the done thing?

Colorado's hosted two Stadium Series games. The last one was at an air force base and a guy died trying to get out. The best part about outdoor games are usually the alumni games the day before, where a bunch of former players for both teams "play" a game. The Colorado/Detroit game doesn't seem to be on youtube but it was much more entertaining and interesting than the actual game the next day

A man universally reviled by fans of every country he's managed and a homeopathic Hans Moleman lookalike. I'm convinced, Ludo get him added to the next manager polls in perpetuity.

I remember being young and hearing English people say "poorly", meaning sick. I kept wondering who Paul was and why I was supposed to feel like him.

Same thing happened in that Avalanche/Devils game that always happens - we do alright for most of it, then the arse falls out. We've been hopeless since the all-star game, something needs to change. Outdoor games started in 2003 with the Heritage Class between Montreal in Edmonton. The Winter Classic, an annual game on New Year's Day, began in 2008. The Heritage Classic has happened occasionally with other teams since then, and the Stadium Series is effectively a way to share those out to more teams since they only ever seem to give the Winter Classic to Chicago or Boston or Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. By all accounts actually watching the games in the stadiums is a bit shit, but you do get nice images from it like this:

“Sudden death syndrome” is a general term for various cardiac syndromes that cause sudden cardiac arrest and death. Sounds completely natural to me!

If I was an Aberdeen legend employed by the state broadcaster to talk about Aberdeen on the radio every weekend while attending Aberdeen matches and Aberdeen signed a player several days before their next match I would simply do some research and find out who he is rather than rolling up on the day of the game and say we've signed a player with over 160 Premier League appearances, over 460 professional appearances and 60-odd caps and say I don't know who he is. But then I have a modicum of shame and intelligence about me, so I can see the problem.

Week 7 update One death this week, Russian politician Alexei Navalny: Alexei Navalny obituary | Russia | The Guardian There's a lot to say about this. There's probably a lot more nobody can say because nobody knows, and nobody can or will know. Personally I hope the inevitable nuclear desolation is more like Fallout or Metro than Threads or Modern Warfare. What we don't know right now is how he died, so I'm unable to add an Unnatural Causes bonus. Like Matthew Perry last year I'll keep an eye out and see what the Russian government says about how its most notorious critic died while in their custody. Until then, Navalny died at 47 so he's worth 78 Base Points for @Billy Jean King, @invergowrie arab, @Karpaty Lviv, @lolls, @parxyz, @Ray Patterson and @weirdcal. @alta-pete gets a Captain bonus for 156 points and @Arabdownunder gets a Vice-Captain bonus for 117 points. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. mozam76 402 2. lolls 316 3. Billy Jean King 303 4. psv_killie 291 5. Ned Nederlander 282 6. lichtgilphead 279 7.
